Some idiot, on seeing the dawg take out the empties said"why don't you train him to bring you a full one" .......hell the dawg only takes the empties out so he can lick 'em dry. A man would be real smart to to teach an alcohol addicted 70kg dog how to open a fridge.

Where, and when should me n the dawg be ?

A wet st race is good, last year after a wet Melbourne was still very difficult to say where teams really were, this time i think we'll have a little bit clearer picture...
